Drop-in Networking

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

"Drop-in-Networking" which is apparently a specific companies trademark for Zigbee gets 1000 hits on Google and all of them refer to either Digi's PR announcement or one of the Wiki-clones. It is not noteable nor used within the industry. I propose we either delete or redirect to ZigBee. KelleyCook (talk) 17:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep. I came across this article because I was looking for a meaning of the term "drop-in networking". Indeed it is a modification (arguably minor) of Zigbee. If decision will be made to create a redirect to Zigbee then it's worthwhile to make a  paragraph about "drop-in networking" there. User:Abune (talk) 03:52, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as nn (related to one particular small project); a redirect if desired is fine too. JJL (talk) 04:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect, relevent material can have it's own paragraph at Zigbee otherwise not notable -Dumelow (talk) 14:44, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: It's a package for a product already covered, and the content of the article reads like advertising or a product description.  Utgard Loki (talk) 16:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This article discusses more than just ZigBee which appears to be a sub-set of Drop-in Networking. Drop-in Networking consists of the convergence of cellular, ZigBee, Wifi and other wireless technologies.
